7.2 Profile Interface Configuration
A profile’s interface configuration can be defined to support separate physical Ethernet configurations that
are both unique and specific to the AP-6511 Access Point.
An AP-6511 requires its Virtual Interface be configured for layer 3 (IP) access or layer 3 service on a VLAN.
A Virtual Interface defines which IP address is associated with each VLAN ID the Access Point is connected
to.
If the profile is configured to support an Access Point radio, an additional Radios option is available, unique
to the Access Point’s radio configuration.
A profile’s Interface configuration process consists of the following:
• Ethernet Port Configuration
• Virtual Interface Configuration
• Access Point Radio Configuration
Additionally, deployment considerations and guidelines for profile interface configurations are available for
review prior to defining a configuration that could significantly impact the performance of the network. For
more information, see Profile Interface Deployment Considerations on page 7-24.

Profile Interface Configuration
Displays the physical port name reporting runtime data and statistics. The following ports are available on
an AP-6511:
• AP6511 - fe1, fe2, fe3, fe4, up1
To define a profile’s Ethernet port configuration:
1. Select Configuration > Profiles > Interface.
2. Expand the Interface menu to display its submenu options.
3. Select Ethernet Ports.
The Ethernet Ports screen displays configuration, runtime status and statistics regarding the physical
ports.
